We are using the amazing art of Katherine Barber  You must have a license to use this tube. Kat’s tubes can purchased at UpYourArt
Elements are included with your tube.

Okay, let’s get started!
*Open a canvas 600 x600 (we will resize later) Flood fill white.
*Create new layer. Using your selection tool, and colors from you tube create a horizontal oval, convert to raster layer. **Make sure your oval is NOT close to the sides.
*Go back to your white layer create new layer.
*Move up to your oval, select all, modify expand 6. 
*Move to the blank layer under you just created and flood fill with a contrasting color from your tube, flood fill, select none.
*Go to effects, Fur.  Use these settings:
Blur 100, Density 75, Length 50, Transparency 75. (***Make sure not to extend out of your frame.)
*Add tube as a new layer, resize 85%, mirror, place in desired location, use my tag as reference..
*Apply large leaves from tube covering the bottom of the tube.  Remove anything that hangs out on the bottom, select none.
*Return to your oval layer.
*Select large leaves from your tube, paste as new layer. Arrange on the oval, use your PICK tool to manipulate, lower opacity to about 65%.  Duplicate, place in another area, rotating if you need to using your pick tool.  Do this as many times as you wish using my tag as a guide.  You may also want to use other leaves from the tube.
*Go to your top layer and add your copyright information.
*Using your selection tool set to zero, go around the outside being careful not to cut off anything, crop to selection, delete extra layer.
*Add your name, I used Satisfaction at 125 and add a white drop shadow.
*If you don’t care to animate you are done.  You can delete the white bottom layer and save as a PNG.
*Select all, copy and paste into Animation Shop.  Duplicate till you have 23 frames.
*Open your animation from Lovely.  X out the black frame (first frame).  Select all, reverse frames.  ***We do this so we can be certain of where we are placing the animation.
*Still with your first frame of the animation selected, select all, copy.  Go to your first frame of your tag. 
*Select all, propagate and paste, position near her extended hand.
*Click on the first frame, select all, reverse animation and save your tag!
Yay, we are done, now that’s easy peasy!!!!
